Pyracantha: "I'm testing the ToolTronix 2000W Electric Weed Burner. It's great for those looking for a way to get rid of weeds that don't involve using dangerous chemicals or weedkillers. It did a great job in my garden. But it is a slow process and takes patience. There is also a cable safety clip in the handle, but it doesn’t stay in place very well. As a result I was often in fear of burning through the cable because both my hands where busy holding the machine. It comes ready to use in one piece so there’s no putting it together which is a major plus. It also it has a top of the range piezo ignitor which is a reassuring touch and means it’s easy to start.
The build quality is also worth mentioning. While this model does cost more than other burners on the market, it’s sturdy and good quality, with a hardened propane hose that won’t swell nor break. It’s compatible with most propane tanks. As well as variable temperature settings, electric weed burners can be adjustable in other ways. Nozzles As with the other electric weed burners, there’s no emergency shut off; if you trip on the cable you could get a nasty burn so you need to be careful. One thing to bear in mind, of course, is to be really careful when using a weed burner; these are some serious temperatures we’re talking about.
There are a couple of factors that can make weed burners more versatile. Electric burners with multiple nozzle attachments will have multiple uses . A cone head is ideal for combatting weeds, but the best electric weed burners will also have nozzles that allow them to double up as paint strippers and melt driveway ice on wintry days. There are two heat settings of 80°C and 650°C making it hotter than the Parklands and Tooltronix weed burner but still nowhere near as hot as the gas weed burner and a switch flips between the two settings. While this burner can be used for a range of tasks thanks to the high output, there’s no additional nozzles included that would make it more versatile. It does have a 3 m hose however, that allows you to move around your patio without dragging the gas canister along with you. After testing several weed burners, my top recommendation is the Green Habitats Weed Burner . It’s a gas propane option that reaches a maximum temperature of 1300°C. I saw big weeds shrivel and disappear in the weeks after using this burner once. As mentioned, the handle ergonomics aren’t great and there are some components which feel a little low in quality.
It’s good to have the choice because the low temperature setting is useful for other tasks, such as lighting the BBQ in summer or melting ice and snow in the winter.Whilst this electric weed burner clearly damaged the weed on its first use, it didn’t kill it off completely. The roots still seem to be living, as they’re still quite green, so at least another burn will be required to get rid of them. This weed removal device could not be easier to operate. Simply plug it into mains power, choose a heat setting and then point it at the weeds. Higher heat settings are necessary, so if it has two heat settings be sure to choose the highest – usually between 600-650°C.

Putting the device together was easy and only took a minute or so and overall, I found it simple and straightforward to use.
After it had cooled down the handle and nozzle came off easily. Tooltronix was the simplest burner to take apart for storage.The ToolTronix electric weed burner clearly affected the health of the weeds, but didn’t get rid of them completely. I feel that at least one more round of burning would be required to fully get rid of them. Weeds are simply burnt away. The electric weed burner works by transmitting bursts of thermal heat to the weed and its roots.
Flame gun: Scorch off weeds between paving slabs and on driveways by blasting them with a flame gun. Use only when the foliage is dry and allow sufficient burn-time for deep-rooted weeds, such as dandelions, to be killedThere are a number of different weed suppressant fabrics available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. More than one temperature setting is worth looking out for . With both gas and electric weed burners, this can increase the tool’s versatility. Most of the weeds I tested it on shrivelled after 5-8 seconds. They then died off within a few days. The overall design of this electric weed burner is ergonomically considered, and the handle is easy to hold; however, it is on the heavy side (possibly due to its extra heat gun function).
